among some Of our wealthiest business

This company will ct up and occupy
the large shops formerly used by the
King Bridge Company. These shopr
were built some fifteen years ago
at cost Of $2s,5OO. The main
building Is 50x35O feet with an ell 4Ox
NW. Owing to the dissolution Of the
Bridge company these buildings are
not now occupied and are somewhat
out Of repair. As soon a. the weather
will permit the work of restoration will
be commenced. The main building
will be rooted and enclosed and the
south half Of it run up another story
In height. A large engine Of sufficient
power to run all the machinery the
buildings will hold will be put In, and
as the Carriage Works will not need
all the space. they will be able to lease
room and power to other manufacture
ing enterprises at very low rates. The
Company, no less than the citizens
generally, are anxious that the room
should be occupied and exceptional In
ducements will be offered to parties de.
string to locate here for the purpose of
engaging in such enterprise. Owing
to the fact that the principal crops of the
country adjoining lola are corn and
broom corn the most needed-and there
fore the most profitable enterprise
would be foundry and machine shops
or starch and broom factories. But it is
plain also that shops for the manufact-
ure ofagricultural implements couldnot
fail to pay large divide nds on tho capi-
tai invested. In either of those lines
the manufacturer has the advantage
not only of being in the midst Of the
raw material required in his business,
but also having his largest consumers
at his very doors.
AL points considered-the heathful
and beautiful location Of the city, edu-
cati0nal, social and religious advanta-
ges, the location here Of large and SUBJ
stantial buildings conveniently fitted
for the use of factories of all kinds, our
splendid railroad facilities, the large
aud steady demand of populous and
prosperous community for all kinds of
manufactured articles-Iola certainly
offers extraordinary inducements for
the profitable investment of capital.
In this connection it should be added
that the lola Gas and Coal Company"
with capital stock Of $4,000 was or
gained a short time since for the pur.
pose of prospecting for coal and gas.
At depth of some 6Oofeet they struck
gas in large quantities. No test has
yet been made to show the amount of
pressure, but it is thought by those
who have had experience with natur-
al gas that the we'll produces enough
to make it Of very great value for heat
ing and manufacturing purposes.
IN CONCLUSION
The above brief description Of our
county and town is necessarily incom-
plete and imperfect. We hope, how
ever, that it may answer some of the
Questions that are always asked con.
corning locality to which immigra-
ton is invited. We hope also that by
telling little it may inspire residents
Of other States who may contemplate
seeking out a new home, with desire
to know more, and thus influence them
to visit US and see for themselves. It
is with perfect confidence that we in
vite such visitors for we know that no
county in the State can offer them
superior inducements. The incubus
of disputed titles has unnaturally re-
tarded the growth of our town and
county. With this load removed, both
are bound to make rapid strides for
ward, for "action and reaction are
equal" Those who come first will be
the ones who reap the most profit from
the move.

Correspondence concerning the loca-
ton here of any manufacturing enter
prise will receive prompt attention if
addressed to the Mayor of the City.
